6th Rackspace Chess Tournament This tournament completed April 29th, 2017.

Detailed breakdown of how Phillip's M-S-C-O tiebreaks were calculated. Tiebreaks are used to order players who finish with the same score, in the order M, then S, then C, then O. Byes have no opponent, so they are listed but not counted in the opponent-based tiebreaks.

M - Modified Mean [12.0]

The Modified Mean adds up the scores of every opponent Phillip Zevallos has played, then discards one of them depending on how Phillip Zevallos is doing.

Phillip's score (3.5 of 5.0 possible) is more than 50% of the possible points, so the lowest opponent score is discarded.

1	Sonia Rao	2.0	Discarded
2	Pierce Arora	3.0	Counted
3	Sravya Akella	2.5	Counted
4	Nicholas Denmark	3.0	Counted
5	Peyton Braun	3.5	Counted
Modified Mean		12.0

S - Solkoff [14.0]

The Solkoff is the combined score of every opponent Phillip Zevallos has played, with nothing discarded. A higher Solkoff means Phillip Zevallos faced tougher opposition.
